Arab Finance Corporation

Established in 1974, Arab Finance Corporation (AFC) is the first financial institution created in Lebanon. Operating under the regulation of the Central Bank of Lebanon, AFC provides tailor-made solutions in global financial markets, wealth management and financial and strategic advisory to private and institutional clients.

The company is also the first and only Lebanese firm to offer proprietary online trading technology. In 2008, AFC launched the AFC BeirutTrader™, the first (and until now sole) Direct Market Access trading platform for the Beirut Stock Exchange. In 2011, AFC launched the AFC Global Markets™, an innovative multi-market trading software targeted to institutions. The solution enables investors to trade stocks, futures, forex, options and CFD’s from one, fully integrated platform. The system integrates real-time trading with powerful analytics and electronic routing. AFC provides a set of custody and execution choices for the software, enabling institutions to connect to the liquidity provider of their choice for all asset classes.
